Overview

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSC) is currently one of the only curative treatments for haematological malignancies with a poor prognosis, the realization of which presupposes the identification and availability of a compatible donor. In recent years, haploidentical transplants have been developed, a reliable alternative for patients who do not have 100% compatible donors.

The development of haplo-identical transplants leads to an exponential increase in the use of intra-family donation. Intrafamilial donation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) has the advantages of lower financial cost and faster availability of the graft, thus avoiding the risk of relapse before the procedure. Nevertheless, intrafamilial donation raises clinical and ethical questions. Indeed, the psychological impact of intra-family donation on the donor cannot be overlooked. Thus, in the context of the development of haplo-identical transplants, measuring the impact of donation on donors (ascendants and descendants) will make it possible to assess the relevance of taking psychosocial aspects into consideration in the choice of donors, to assess the psychological impact of haplo-identical donation and to offer psychological support adapted to donors.

Description

This is a prospective, exploratory and bicentric study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, with the aim of exploring the psychosocial aspects of the experience of haplo-identical transplantation in adult HSC donors for transplantation. haplo-identical for their children or for their parents.

For this, the evolution of the anxiety and depression) of the donors will be evaluated on D0, D90, D180 and D360 post donation, thanks to State-Trait anxiety Inventory questionnaire, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and by the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey;

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
